UMBRELLA-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 352,844, dated November16, 1886.

v {A Application filed March 12, 1886. Serial No. 195,042. (No model.)

To all whom it may. concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES G. ULINGS, a citizen of the United States,residing at Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Umbrella-Holders, of whichthe followingis a specification, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, which form a part hereof.

formed with a stem of cast metal, one end of which is cast around thehead of a screw, and

the other end cast upon a wire ring, so that 1 the three parts arerigidly connected, and the bracket maybe screwed to the wall or othersupport without the aid of other tools; also in the combination of adrip-cup with the brackets.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation showing my umbrella-holderas composed of two brackets, with a drip cup in the lower ring and anumbrella resting in the holder. Fig. 2 is a plan of the lower bracket,and Fig. 3 is a plan showing the combination of two rings in onebracket. Figs. 4 and 5 are plan views, partly in section, illustratingthe single and double brackets with the stem cast around the head of thescrew and upon the wire ring.

In practice it is preferable to use two brackets. The lower bracket isformed with astem, a, of cast metal, cast around the head of a screw,b,and also cast upon the side of a wire ring, A. The screw 2) and thering A are thus united to the stem a rigidly and inseparably. The ringand stem serve as handle and screw-driver, whereby the bracket may befastened to the wall by means of the screw b without the aid 0 of othertools. The ring A is adapted to hold My invention consists in anumbrella-holder composed of one or more ring-brackets, each a cup tocatch the drip from the umbrella when wet. The upper bracket may be ofsimilar construction 'to the lower bracket, or it may consist of two ormore rings upon one stem, as shown in Figs. 3 and 5. A slight bend inthe wire, as at d, affords an anchorage to prevent any possible slippingof the ring. The bracket maybe screwed to the wall, or mounted upon aframe or anyother suitable support. 5o

' I am aware of Patent No. 287,676 to F. S. Hesseltine, and ldisclai mall that is shown 'or described therein.

I am also aware that the casting of a screw in a metal holder is old,notably in clothes- I hooks, and I do not claim such as my invention.

\lVhat I claim as my invention is- 1. An umbrella-holder consisting ofaringbracket composed of a wire ring, a stem of cast metal, and a screw,the stem being cast around the head of the screw and around the sideofthe ring, so that the three partsare rigidly united,and the bracketmay be screwed to a support without the aid of other tools,substantially as described. p

2. An umbrella-holder consisting of two ring-brackets each composed of awire ring, a stem of cast metal, and a screw, the stem being cast aroundthe head of the screw and around the side of the ring, so that the threeparts are rigidly united, and the bracket may be screwed to a supportwithout the aid of other tools, in combination with a drip-cup,substantially as described.
